Abstract excerpt
Tissue-specific expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are always linked to specific diseases. In this study, we focused on eQTLs common to multiple tissues and explored their functional mechanisms in disease for the first time. We found 11 common eQTL genes among multiple tissues. Five genes were validated through a genome-wide association study, 3 genes were validated using the Online Mendelian Inheritance...
